 This
US rapper burst into the mainstream
charts in summer 2003 with the
anthemic "Right Thurr', a catchy
slice of southern hip-hop that
briefly threatened to unseat the
reigning king of pop rap,
Nelly.
Chingy first began rapping in the
early 90s, and before long had
established a reputation on St.
Louis" underground scene, releasing
several independently pressed CDs
with his group Without Warning.
Adopting the moniker Chingy (slang
for money), he signed a contract
with fellow southern rapper
Ludacris'
Disturbing Tha Peace imprint and
recorded his major label debut,
Jackpot,
with up-and-coming production team
the Trak Starz. "Right Thurr" was
tailor made for club success,
combining lazy Dirty South beats
with Chingy's leering rap about
beautiful women, and after enjoying
constant radio play was released
nationally in June 2003. The track
climbed into the US Top 5 shortly
after the release of
Jackpot.
The singles "Holidae In" (featuring
Ludacris and
Snoop
Dogg) and "One Call Away"
(featuring J. Weav) maintained
Chingy's presence in the upper
regions of the US charts.
